According to the Georgia (U.S.) '''Agriculture Education website
(refer to the GEA link, below; n.b., it's a Powerpoint presentation),
one cubic yard of sand = 27 cubic feet,
and one cubic foot of sand weighs about 100 pounds,
so 4 cubic yards would weigh 10,800 pounds (i.e., 27 x 4 x 100)
or 5.4 tons (i.e., 10,800 / 2,000 pounds per ton).

How many yards of salt in 1 ton?
A cubic yard is a measure of volume (length in feet X width in feet X depth in feet/27=cubic yards) and tons is a measure of weight. The weight of a material depends on its density, therefore, to determine the number of yards in a ton of material, the density of the material must be known.Sand has an average weight of 2,700 pounds per cubic yard (Refer to Table 1 in this chart of material weights http://www.age.psu.edu/extension/factsheets/h/H20.pdf). One ton is 2,000 pounds, therefore, there are 1.35 Tons in one cubic yard of sand.Inversely, if 1.35 tons of sand is equivalent to one cubic yard of sand, then using a ratio (tons|cubic yards), there are 0.74 cubic yards in one ton of sand.For those of you that prefer to see this answer as a mathematical calculation:length in feet X width in feet X depth in feet/27=cubic yardsSand = 2,700 lbs/cubic yards (*This value is specific to Sand)*2,700 lbs|1 Cu Yd * 1 Ton|2,000 lbs = 1.35 Ton|Cu YdOR 1|1.35 = 0.74074 Cu Yd in 1 Ton of SandOf course nature is not precise with sand and it's weight may varying to some degree based on the grain size, the moisture content, etc.
Weight of wet sand per cubic yard?
Clean quartz sand weighs 80-125 pounds per cubic foot depending on degree of compaction and moisture content. Usually folks figure sand at 100 pcf. There are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard. So to continue the answer the previous poster made... Using the 100 pcf average weight for sand, and that there are 27 cubic feet in a yard, then 1 yards is equal to 27 cubic feet and at 100 pcf, the total weight is 2700 lbs, or 1.35 tons.
How many cubic feet in one ton of m sand?
Masonry sand is estimated to weigh approximately 160 pounds per cubic foot. Therefore, it would take 12.5 cubic feet of masonry sand to equal one ton.
How many kg in one cubic feet of sand?

Weight of river sand 100 cubic feet?
It all depends on what you have in the cubic feet. -- If the cubic feet are full of air, they weigh about 8 pounds. -- If they're full of water, they weight about 6,243 pounds (3.1 tons). -- If they're full of lead, they weigh about 70,793 pounds (35.4 tons). -- If the cubic feet are completely empty, they weigh exactly zero.
How many cubic yards is 4 yards?
Clean quartz sand weighs 80-125 pounds per cubic foot depending on degree of compaction and moisture content. A cubic yard is made up from 27 cubic feet. So taking a value of about 100 pounds of sand per cubic foot, 1 cubic yards of sand would weigh 2700 pounds or 1.35 ton [short, US]. Thus 4/1.35 = 2.963 So 4 short, US tons of sand would occupy a volume of 2.963 cubic yards.
How do you convert cubic yards of dry sand to imperial tons?
Start with a conversion factor. An "old timer's" view is that a cubic foot of dry sand weighs about 125 pounds. There are 3 feet in a yard. There are 3 x 3 or 9 square feet in a square yard. There are 3 x 3 x 3 or 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard. As there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard and there are 125 pounds to a cubic foot of our dry sand, there are 27 x 125 pounds of dry sand per cubic yard, or 3,375 pounds of dry sand per cubic yard. (Yes, there are that many.) There are 2,240 pounds in an Imperial ton. There are 3,375 divided by 2,240 Imperial tons in a cubic yard of dry sand, or right at 1.5 Imperial tons of dry sand per cubic yard. To convert cubic yards of dry sand to Imperial tons, multiply the number of cubic yards of dry sand by 1.5 and your answer will appear. Every time.
I am allowed 10 cubic yards of sand annually for our beach at cabin how many 50 lb bags would this equate to?
10 cubic yards is 270 cubic feet and sand weighs 100 pounds per cubic feet for total of 27000 pounds which is 27000/50 = 540 bags. Sounds like you need to have it trucked in.
How many pounds of sand in 143 cubic feet?
14,300 pounds. Sand has a density of 100 pounds per cubic foot.
How many cubic yards of sand in one ton of coal?
Dry sand has a density of 100 pounds/cubic foot 1 ton = 2000 pounds 2000 pounds / 100 pounds/cubic foot = 20 cubic foot 20 cubic foot / 27 = 0.74 cubic yard So 1 ton is about 3/4 of a cubic yard
What volume in cubic yard is 1kilogram of sand?
1 kg = 2.2 pounds sand weighs 100 pounds per cubic foot 2.2/100 = .022 cubic feet one cubic yard = 27 cubic feet .022/27 = 0.00081 cubic yards
How many pounds of sand to fill a 30ft round pool floor with 2 inches of sand?
At 12 inch per foot that is 3.14x30x30*2/12/4 = 117.75 cubic feet of sand at 100 pounds per cubic foot = 11,775 pounds (5.88 tons). Since a yard is 27 cubic feet that is 117.75/27 = 4.4 yards
How many 50 lb bags of sand will I need for 1.09 cubic yards?
1.09 cu yards is 29.43 cubic feet and sands weighs 100 pounds per cu ft so you need 2943 pounds. Dide by 50 pounds per bag that is 59 bags
If you have 17.74 tons of sand how many yards is that?
It all depends on how wet the sand is, however the density of wet sand is given as 3240 pounds per cubic yard and as there are 2000lbs in a ton, 3240/2000 equals 1.62 tons per cubic yard. Therefore 17.74 tons equals 10.95 yards
How many cubic feet of sand are in 4 cubic yards if 1 cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet?
If 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet, then 4 cubic yards = 108 cubic feet.
How many yards of sand to fill a 600 gallon tank?
600 US gallons = 138,600 cubic inches = 80.208333... cubic feet = 2.9707 cubic yards. (rounded)
How many cubic yards are in 24.43 tons of sand?
That entirely depends on the type of sand, and how consistent the particle size is.
